Nearly every major post-9/11 terrorism-related prosecution has
involved a sting operation, at the center of which is a government
informant. In these cases, the informants — who work for money or are
seeking leniency on criminal charges of their own — have crossed the
line from merely observing potential criminal behavior to encouraging
and assisting people to participate in plots that are largely scripted
by the FBI itself. Under the FBI’s guiding hand, the informants provide
the weapons, suggest the targets and even initiate the inflammatory
political rhetoric that later elevates the charges to the level of
terrorism.– From Glenn Greenwald’s latest piece: Latest FBI Claim of Disrupted Terror Plot Deserves Much Scrutiny and SkepticismBy Michael Krieger: The “war on terror” is the best thing to happen to power hungry politicians since a fire of questionable origin destroyed the Reichstag building
in Berlin on February 27, 1933. Not only does the “war on terror”
represent big business for shady crony capitalists, it
gives politicians, i.e., professional authoritarians, an excuse to
destroy civil liberties and implement a total surveillance system to
ensure the plebs don’t get out of line. This is not just an unfortunate
trend that has developed organically due to a dangerous world, these are
the goals of the oligarch class and they will do whatever it takes to
achieve them.

By Janet Bloomfield (aka JudgyBitch):Peter Lloyd walks into the newsroom at the Daily Mail and sees Liz Jones (I Stole My Husband’s Sperm And Tried to Trick HimInto Pregnancy), Shona Sibary (I Would Rather Mop Than Have Sex WithMy Husband), Samantha Brick (Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Beautiful) and Esther Walker (I Wish My Baby Wasn’tA Beastly Boy)
and remarkably, does not run screaming in the other direction. Instead,
Lloyd complains to an editor that one of his female colleagues (he
doesn’t say whom) is just a tad sexist against men in her writing.And thus his first column on men’s issues was born.Lloyd’s book Stand ByYour Manhood
takes the same fearless, uncompromising stance against sexism as his
regular pieces in the Daily Mail and does so in a way that is both
empowering and humorous. Lloyd openly and enthusiastically declares his
admiration for men and masculinity, writing “men are bloody brilliant.”
The book never descends into self-pitying or shaming tactics as he takes
on key issues facing men and manhood. All too often, men’s issues are
framed in the mainstream media as something men have done to themselves,
or something they could address if they would just “man up,” if they
are addressed at all. Lloyd refuses to cast men as pathetic wimps, and
his entire book is a call to arms for men to celebrate, acknowledge, and
take pride in themselves as men.

By Michael Snyder:Not too long ago, the Swiss National Bank promised that it would defend the euro/Swiss franc currency peg with the “utmost determination”. But on Thursday, the central bank shocked the financial world by abruptly abandoning it. More than three years ago, the Swiss National Bank announced that it would not allow the Swiss franc to fall below 1.20 to the euro, and it has spent a mountain of money defending that peg. But now that it looks like the EU is going to launch a very robust quantitative easing program, the Swiss National Bank has thrown in the towel. It was simply going to cost way too much to continue to defend the currency floor. So now there is panic all over Europe. On Thursday, the Swiss franc rose a staggering 30 percent against the euro, and the Swiss stock market plunged by 10 percent. And all over the world, investors, hedge funds and central banks either lost or made gigantic piles of money as currency rates shifted at an unprecedented rate. It is going to take months to really measure the damage that has been done. Meanwhile, the euro is in greater danger than ever. The euro has been declining for months, and now the number one buyer of euros (the Swiss National Bank) has been removed from the equation. As things in Europe continue to get even worse, expect the euro to go to all-time record lows. In addition, it is important to remember that the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s began when Thailand abandoned its currency peg. Will this move by Switzerland set off a European financial crisis?

By Wolf Richter:The euro dropped to $1.16, the lowest since 2005. The ECB has imposed
negative deposit rates on Eurozone banks, which are passing them on to
their depositors. The ECB will flog savers until their mood improves. It
has flooded the Eurozone with liquidity whose excesses are sloshing
audibly through the system.

Despite the Eurozone’s economic issues, stocks have soared in recent
years. As have government bonds. The German 5-year yield is negative;
the 10-year yield dropped to 0.41%. Forget France’s beleaguered
government and economy, and the downgrades of its credit rating: its
10-year yield is 0.67%; its 2-year yield is negative. Spain’s 10-year
yield dropped to 1.49% before edging up a little. Italy’s 10-year yield
fell to 1.70%. These countries are borrowing at practically no cost.

Since 2011, the Eurozone’s current-account surpluses with the rest of
the world have risen sharply, approaching 4% of nominal GDP, despite
the debt crisis and even while the euro was very strong. The November
trade surplus, reported today, jumped to €20 billion, up from €16.5
billion a year ago.

And it’s precisely this environment that the ECB wants to douse with even more
liquidity by buying large quantities of government bonds to force
interest rates down even further and devalue the euro even more. Because
now it would suddenly heal the various problems each of the 19 Eurozone
countries might have.

Niger has banned the distribution of Charlie Hebdo in the country over the French satirical weekly’s publication of blasphemous cartoons of Islam’s holy Prophet Muhammad.Press TV: The mainly-Muslim country took the move on Thursday over the weekly’s publication of the offensive cartoons in its latest edition, becoming the second African country to prohibit the periodical’s distribution after Senegal.

“The government vehemently denounces and condemns the cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed, peace and blessings be upon him, contained in the issue of Charlie Hebdo for Wednesday, January 14, 2015, which it considers an insulting provocation and totally unacceptable,” said a government statement read on radio and state television.

Niger’s President Mahamadou Issoufou has instructed the Niamey government to “ban the publication and sale of this issue across the country,” the statement added.Muslims across the world have expressed their outrage at the French weekly’s release of inflammatory cartoons last Wednesday. Religious leaders across the world have also denounced the move as purely provocative, calling it a direct insult to all Muslims.

Submitted by Tyler Durden: The first time the phrase Emergency Liquidity Assistance, or ELA, was used in the context of Greece was in August 2011, when Greece was imploding, when its banking sector was on (and past) the verge of collapse, and just before the ECB had to unleash a global coordinated bailout with other central banks including global central bank liquidity swap and unleash the LTRO to preserve the Eurozone.

As a reminder, this is what happened back then: "In a move described as the "last stand for Greek banks", the embattled country's central bank activated Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) for the first time on Wednesday night."

"Although it was done discreetly, news that Athens had opened the fund filtered out and was one of the factors that rattled markets across Europe. At one point Germany's Dax was down 4pc before it recovered. The ELA was designed under European rules to allow national central banks to provide liquidity for their own lenders when they run out of collateral of a quality that can be used to trade with the ECB. It is an obscure tool that is supposed to be temporary and one of the last resorts for indebted banks."

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
